PODCAST: The SolarWinds Breach Points to Need for Cyber Basics

In mid-December, SolarWinds acknowledged that it experienced a massive supply chain attack where its compromised software channel was used to push out malicious updates to 18,000 of its Orion platform customers.

In this unprecedented breach, several government agencies were impacted, which included the Department of Defense, Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security, and others.
